Question
This character confusingly replies “ay, no; no, ay” after comparing his cousin and himself to two buckets in a “deep well.” This character studies his own face in a monologue beginning, “Give me the glass, and therein will I read.” Elizabeth I supposedly exclaimed, “I am [this character], know ye not that?” after the Earl of Essex paid the Lord Chamberlain’s Men to stage a play about him. This character claims that not even “all the water in the rough rude sea / Can wash the balm from an (*) anointed King” in a play in which he wishes to “tell sad stories of the death of kings.” This character seizes the land of his uncle, who had earlier praised an “other Eden” and “sceptered isle” on his deathbed. This character is murdered in Pomfret after surrendering to Gaunt’s son Bolingbroke. For 10 points, name this king whose downfall is covered in the first play in Shakespeare’s Henriad. ■END■
